Karen has already talked about a great craft idea of painting something for mom’s.
A family portrait from Sears is very reasonable.  Just go to Sears Photo and find the coupons for free portraits.

Just thought I would tell you a divine intervention story that happened to me today.  This afternoon, I was running errands with my kids and needed to stop by the grocery store really quick to get some baby food before getting home by 3 pm for a conference call.  I was headed to the store […]

Wedding Dress for $10

I was amazed when I found this post on how the craftster made a wedding dress for $10 from the dollar store.  She totally impressed me.  The dress, although not the most beautiful dress I have seen, is very doable and she gives great ideas on how to make a wedding dress for under $20.  […]

Free lifetime membership at Freepeats

I love the idea of Freepeats!  It is a great web site for giving your baby, kid, and maternity stuff away.  Granted, you don’t make any money by selling your stuff, but you also don’t have to take it anywhere.  All you have to do is post that you have something to give away and […]

Ways to save money when buying formula

So for some reason, I have lost my ability to nurse Little Man.  I am hoping my milk will come back soon.  But I can certainly see the other side of the coin these days.  It is very disheartening to have to pump and get only 2 oz at a time.  It makes me want […]
